Violent Femmes!

[borgasm]

I just heard Blister in the Sun the other day for the first time in a long time and MAN would that be a great song for rock band... it has drum solo parts, guitar solo parts, the singing is fun as hell (I busted it out at full volume in my car of course) and there's some decent rhythm guitar in there. It's the full package and it'd make for a great DLC song!

woo!

[Coldplayer]

Blister in the Sun is probably the only song I know by them, but it's a nice song. Would not mind it in Rockband.

[MrGrieves]

Blister in the sun is good song, also check out Add It Up and Gone Daddy Gone.

Gnarls Barkley did a cover of Gone Daddy Gone

Ah, yes, now that you say it, I know that song too! It's okay. Well Violett Femmes is not my Most Wanted Band, but like I said, I would not mind having them in the game.

[borgasm]

I had no idea Gone Daddy Gone was a cover! I love the Gnarls Barkley version... I'm gonna have to go see how good the violent femmes version is now. I honestly thought they were just a one hit wonder type band hehe

And you, sir, are 100 and 10 PERCENT CORRECT!!! :D Give this man a prize! My two fave songs from VF - w00tz!

O...M...F...G.
I F*cking Agree.

Their first album would be bloody brilliant as DLC. It's amazing. It's got Blister in the Sun, Add It Up, Gone Daddy Gone and my favourite Promise.

One of the great under-rated 80's bands. Back in the day, my band (and every other band we knew) covered "Add It Up". That was a staple in every band's set. Another really cool darker song by them is "Children of the Revolution" that came out in 1985. Really good driving guitars, funky vocals, and a pretty easy marching drum beat.

Definitely agree on that. Plus, it would be much different compared to the other DLCs. I'd *love* to be able to play & sing Add It Up.

[Desensitized]

Add It Up = instant singing for me.

[idiotec]

Country Death Song would be great as well.

I would love to see them in the game.

[teefun]

add it up
kiss off
blister in the sun

[TRCfactory]

Lets not forget American Music:) Add It Up and Blister in the Sun for sure.

[pmpboarder]

Violent Femmes FTW! :D

[ibender]

I'd pick Add It Up, Kiss Off and Blister In the Sun.

[Dr.Strangelove]

Sign me up for a Kiss Off, Blister in the Sun, Add It Up three pack.

[cdestey]

Their first album would get more play in my house than the rest of the songs on RB 1 & 2 combined.

[NakedShaver]

Lets not forget American Music:) Add It Up and Blister in the Sun for sure.

Thank you. "American Music" would be a must. And "Held Her in My Arms" and "Gimme the Car." "Waiting for the Bus" is hilarious.

I'd buy any Violent Femmes pack. I just don't know if any of these young ones know who they are.

[darthsmurfx]

I'd love to see:

Blister in the Sun
Gone Daddy Gone
Kiss Off
Why Can't I Get Just One Kiss?

[bostonstyxboy]

Blister in the Sun is a great song. It would be a most awesome addition to the game.

[obsoleteshock]

Add it Up, Blister in the Sun and Kiss Off would be one of the best three-packs ever released. The entire first album would be great, too. I haven't heard anything they did after, that, though. I heard it wasn't that great, so I haven't bothered to hunt any of it down. Any reccommendations?

[Mrpms83]

Blister in the Sun
Kiss Off
Add It Up

These are requirements for future DLC or RB3

[belialbradley]

Country Death Song... greatest Violent Femmes song ever !

[LordFlatus]

I would be all over a VF pack. I saw them open for the Cure once, and if that guy could sing *or* play guitar they wouldn't even be as good. :)

Seriously though, I want more songs from bands with bad singers. I'm a god-awful singer but I could sound okay singing the Femmes.

[My name is Fez]

As mentioned, Blister and the Sun and Gone Daddy Gone would be awesome

[timmay9]

I'm only 15, but I remember sneaking out of my cousin's baptism when I was 13 and listening to their entire first album on my iPod in the bathroom. Needless to say I would download it.

[Sully]

Please Do Not Go would be absolutely amazing in RB. That Bassline is one of the best ever and the Bass solo is absolutely awesome, too. A three pack with almost any other two tracks from the first album would be fantastic.

[Frenzy5iron]

Everything off the First is great and is a must buy.
Good Feeling is one of My favorite songs, it might not be good for RB but I love it.

[Runesmith]

An emphatic 'yes' to any song by the Femmes. Blister in the Sun is an absolute must.

The more I think about it, the more I could see their first album as a full download for RB in the near-future; it's iconic, highly influential, and one of the most consistent records I have ever heard.

Agreed. Blister in the Sun would be so much fun.

[deatheats]

American Music

[Guns1inger]

Blister in the Sun
Kiss Off
Add It Up

These are requirements for future DLC

Agreed

[beefigursk]

Violent Femmes would be superduper fun. However I think I have to say I do prefer Gnarls Barkley's cover, maybe because they are on my top 10 of bands or whatever you'd call them. I'll call them a band for the hell of it.

[supernova1324]

They are awesome. I would love to have Add it up, Confessions, Kiss off...oh screw it let's have their whole self titled album.

[dementia32]

Heck, I'd take the Femmes' cover of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" at the very least. "Add It Up" would be ridiculously fun for vocalists though, and EVERYONE knows "Blister in the Sun."

[NormanCoxwell]

Would love to see the Violent Femmes but almost all the the drumming in almost all of their songs is purely snare drum play. Wouldn't exactly be too fun on rock band.

[elitemastersam]

I heard Blister in the Sun on the radio today. Great song, would be fun. So would Add it Up.

[jrcronlakers]

I know I would get any VF also. Come on HMX work your magic.

[supernova1324]

Damn, I forgot about that.

[wafflerevolution]

Blister in the Sun is probably the only song I know by them, but it's a nice song. Would not mind it in Rockband.

I second that.

[Emalythe]

Another big vote for Kiss Off!

I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record.

[NumnutzAce87]

I would love to see Gimme The Car by the Femmes, that's my favorite song by them

[Tsunetomo]

36-24-36? Blister in the Sun? Gimme the Car? Yes, please.

[AcidReflux]

I fully agree. It would be freaking awesome to see the Violent Femmes on Rock Band.

[neckermanncj]

Please please please do not gooooooooooo

[XxxadxxX]

I would buy any Femmes song. HMX Do it!

[D1sturb3d]

When i saw Violent Femmes I dont know why but i instantly had a chill run down my spine as i thought of visions

[ShaneXtopher]

It's nice to see American Music on DLC this week... but the entire first album is RB-worthy. There's not a clunker in the bunch. Of all the albums I had as a teen, this is the one that by far got the most play (with Jane's Addiction: Nothing Shocking a close second). My friends and I knew every word to every song.

[XxxadxxX]

Now all we need is the whole discography!! And I'll be happy!

[gbeenie]

this.

[brianboonstra]

Add It Up, oh yes that would be great!

[LegendofRock3021]

"American Music" is great, but we definitely need more Violent Femmes.
